Help Material !

Hi,

I'm trying to create a metallic fence material.
Here is the sample :



Here is the base file :



I can do a transparent map but I can't put a reflection layer with transparence..

Could some skilled fellas help me ?

Many Thanks

Tom

Interesting!
Try putting the diffuse map in the reflection slot and the alpha map (inverted) in the reflection filter slot.
(I found that using fresnel didn't work)

Re: Help Material !

You can get it to work with reflection as David has said, and you can also get it to work with fresnel. There are some tricks to it, but I'm not at a computer where I can go through the steps for you at the moment, but it can work in fresnel as well

Indeed David, I was a good idea. I can't tweak the level, though. Still get a mirror like reflection.
But the path seems ressourcefull . I'll try now with the map set into the fresnel slot.

Thanks both
I'll post the results

OK - got it!
Thanks damien. You select 'fresnel' reflections and put the alpha map in the 'refract' slot, which allows you to change the 'reflection glossiness'.

Yeh - just keeping my head down - and rendering! Its the same old stuff - photomatching etc, so I don't want to bore people with more of the same!

Thanks David! I was trying it myself for 5 minutes, but no success! Thanks for your input!
